Keep in mind that they did not set odds for Week 17 due to the number of variables, such as teams resting starters.

With that said, in the 15 games that they did set odds for, Kansas City is favored in 10 of those. Check out the lines for each of the Chiefs’ matchups:

Straight out of the gate the Chiefs are underdogs in Week 1, as the Patriots are favored by seven points. CG Technology also set the over/under for that game at 49 total points.

The remaining games where the Chiefs are underdogs are against the Texans, Raiders (on the road), Cowboys and Giants. The line against Dallas is the second-biggest line for the Chiefs in 2017.

On the other side of the coin, Kansas City is heavily favored against the Chargers and Bills at home. In fact, the Chiefs are favored in all eight of their home games.

I’m actually shocked that KC is favored against the Steelers at home considering Pittsburgh beat the Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium in the 2016-17 playoffs. The 1.5-point line isn’t large by any means as it’s basically a pick ’em, but it’s still a bit surprising.

Obviously these lines will drastically change as the season progresses, but this gives you a good idea of 1) how oddsmakers think KC will perform in 2017 and 2) how people are betting on/against the Chiefs.
